This is a private tour. We will leave your Denver Hotel and travel to the famous Red Rocks Park where we will visit the amphitheater and the visitor center where you will see the museum with all the history behind Red Rocks Park and all the popular musicians who have played there before. Next we will go to Saint Mary's Glacier where we hike up to the lake below the glacier. Afterwards we will descend into Idaho Springs where we will have lunch and then take a dip in the hot springs.
Weather can change quickly around the glacier; dressing in layers helps regulate your temperature during the hike.
Trails around Red Rocks and Saint Mary's Glacier are rocky and uneven—good hiking shoes are a must.
The altitude and physical activity demand plenty of water—bring a refillable bottle.
